Three individuals with LAM underwent evaluation for TSC-associated mucocutaneous and internal findings. We used our previously published algorithm to confirm the clinical suspicion for mosaicism and guide the selection of tissue specimens and genetic workup.

By contrast, superimposed mosaicism is defined by a pronounced segmental involvement in a patient with ordinary non-segmental lesions of the same disorder, resulting in a heterozygous embryo from loss of the corresponding wild-type allele that occurred at a very early developmental stage.
